Ash like snow covered the town
a black and white feeling..
with a chrome look
and gray colored gesture
she sat and stare..
A dozen hourglass in sight
and a pocketwatch she held tight
along with her blank look
and pallid face,
she murmured; 'you're late'
with the most absent-minded tone
she could make..
Am I late? I asked myself quietly
Yes you are, yes you are, she replied,
A voice as smooth as it's dreamy
defies her silly looking eyes towards me
Where am I?, I asked her
She answered, You're stuck on reverse as you can see..
She asked for the hourglass that I hold so tight
I gave it to her, confused, not thinking if it's right..
I shouted wait, can I take it back?
She looked at me, well then, would you like to redo your life?
A quiet nod that means yes,
You're one odd fellow I guess..
As she turned it over once again,
sands of time free flowing
Embrace life, open your eyes
this is one great morning..

Breathe carefully
the clock that ticks
Slow movement
from the hand that keeps
my eyes from closing
choosing to sleep..
The willing waits
till the dawn breaks..
The keeper keeps
and picks its own pace..
slowly..
Shall we?

Lying in your lap
I feel you gently stroke my hair
I slowly open up my eyes
I can see your smiling face
Forever seems a day away
so close that I can feel
the warmth of your soft embrace
eternity is here
Now everywhere I look
It's your face I always see
I think it's true,
there's no doubt
I'm falling seriously
in your arms, where morning dews
and orchids come together
Listen up, I've got to tell you this
for me this could mean everything
I know it won't be long enough
So I want you to know..
You can wait and crave
or just go and take it
leave me here,
still I'll be waiting..
I'll be waiting...

Annoying sleepless nights
staring at the ceiling
humming tunes and lullabies
I hate this feeling..
A feeling of discontent
A mind full of struggles and disarray..
A hand full of choices I took
still, it's not as easy as it looks..
Break of dawn
I'm all alone..
morning filled with clear sky
once again is it okay if I try?
a calm feeling of acceptance
somehow it feels like everything has been forgiven..

Winter is coming
Bright lights and silver linings
Golden memories
endless whispers of slight breeze
End of fall
is like a sand in an hourglass
in constant motion
hurrying down till it's gone
Like the season
that changes in a moment
Inevitable as it seems..
Cover your eyes
and you will see
Read the signs and pay attention
Just don't ask me questions
because I don't know
Come let's discover
Good vibrations..

So clear yet so clever
this never ending street,
overflowing with sigh..
Arrivals doesn't mean forever
yet departures won't be goodbye..

"Let  all the pieces fall"
I heard one man said,
just when something
gracefully landed on my head
a piece of a puzzle
it's blank and it is white
I can see it clearly
in this cold cloudless night..
I asked myself: "what's this?"
The man quietly whispered:
"it's white am I right?"
I nod my head and said yes
He then smiled and said:
"well then, goodnight"
He walked away and disappeared
A man covered in white beard.
As soon as it happened
I quickly noticed at the end
white pieces of puzzle
from the sky they're slowly falling
I held my hands up
and for a moment I said:
"Tonight will be white"
